Life of Pi vs The Odyssey Comparative Essay

Whenever you finish a book, you might go to watch the movie. Lots of people say something close to ¨The book was better!¨, or ¨The movie was better!¨. Well, a great novel and graphic novel were talking about today is The Odyssey. The Odyssey is about this man and his crew, they just got to land. The crew goes against him, eats his cows, crazy bad things happen. The crew dies, and Odyssey gets to have a good life after! Anyways, that's a brief summary of The Odyssey from both versions. I really think that the section from the book XII of Homer's The Odyssey, is better than the graphic novel segment of The Odyssey by Hinds. I think this because Homer's is the original, and it is able to let us know more of what really happened during this event, and we can all around learn better with the novel. Don’t get me wrong, Homer’s and Hind’s versions both have positives and negatives that will be shown. However, we can compare and contrast both to find about how both versions can help us learn, with Homer’s version being just a little stronger.

That may not sound like buried treasure to most people, but to me it is more valuable than gold.” This sentence proving his dedication and clear love for what he does.

- This is the first day of many days of which there will be strife. I seek to train him, to nurture him in the same ways as the others, but it is challenging. The essence within him is difficult to control, to override, and even more difficult to understand. He struggles greatly, mumbling about the voices he can hear. Alas, his power is derived from those voices, enraged and sorrowful. It will fill him up to the brim and there can only be two outcomes. He will subdue it, or it will tear him

It was early one morning at sea when he observed with fascination a dolphin that appeared to swim effortlessly in front of the ship.

Charles Darwin set sail in 1831, and came back from his voyage in 1836. He Had endured sea sickness, miraculously survived a sickness that spread all over the ship, and kept his sanity while being cramped in a tight space while writing about his findings. The boat that he was riding sailed near the equator, where he took his first steps onto south America. There he found new species of animals, and plants that he had never seen before. All these new specimens amazed him, but all that Charles could think of, is how these animals came to be.

He eventually figured out that selective breeding played a large role in natural selection. Natural selection is the process by which random evolutionary changes are selected for by nature in a consistent and orderly way. The theory of biological evolution makes two very bold claims about living creatures. The first one is that all living things on earth are related and that they evolved from a common ancestor. The second one was the evolution of living things is powered by natural processes, as in things that can be studied and understood. To prove the claims that all living things on earth are related, I cannot tackle the entire tree of life at once, so instead i’ll focus most of your attention on one fairly small but fascinating branch of the evolutionary tree: Cetaceans. This branch includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. Biologist claim that all these creatures are closely related, and that the entire group evolved from an ancient 4- legged land mammal. The study of differences and similarities between living things. Whales live in water and from a distance, they sort of look like giant fish. Whales, just like land mammals but unlike fish have placentas and give live

In October 20th, of 1831 when Darwin set sail on a five year voyage to the Galapagos Islands. He started to collect species from island to island to observe them and one day when he was eating roasted armadillo he found a fossil that reminded him of that armadillo and he found it interesting and then he thought that maybe all animals come from old or extinct animal

His first experiment was to place food at the other side of a barrier. The dogs went directly for it. The chimpanzees tried going around the barrier to retrieve the food.

He ignored it. However, after meeting the humans and obtaining a quick preview of a Hippo, a Dog and a Kangaroo, he had to admit it did have its merit.
